GENERAL ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE IN TEACHING PROGRAM REQUIREMENTSThe community colleges and universities of the Tennessee Board of Regents system have joined together to develop a common core of courses for prospective elementary school teachers consisting of an introduction to teaching and technology course and standards-based mathematics and science courses. The common core for the Associate of Science in Teaching (A.S.T.) degree allows prospective teachers to transfer from Pellissippi State to any TBR university as a junior and without loss of credit. In addition to the curriculum requirements listed below, students must attain a cumulative grade-point average of 2.75, successfully complete the Praxis I exam and achieve satisfactory disposition assessment ratings.
